Seamax Marine Adhesive for Hypalon Inflatable Boats

To achieve the best results when using adhesive, it is essential that the relative humidity is below 60% and the ambient air temperature is between 18C to 25C (65 F to 77F), avoiding direct sunlight. Clean the patching area on the boat and the contact side of the patch, preferably using M.E.K. (Methyl Ethel Ketone) patching solvent and cleaner. Please be aware that the product contains Polyurethane and M.E.K. which can be harmful if inhaled and cause eye irritations. Repeated exposure may lead to skin dryness and cracking, so it is crucial to keep away from sources of ignition, avoid smoking, and not breathe in the vapor or spray. In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of fresh water and seek medical attention. Use Only in well-ventilated areas and do not smoke or work near open flames, sparks or other heat sources. Keep the glue and all chemical materials out of reach of children, stored in a cool and safe spot for up to 3 years. Mix 5% hardener with the glue before use, maximum adding 10% hardener in Cold Weather 10C-15C or High Humidity 50-75%, but do NOT exceed a mixture of 10% to the glue. If the glue hardens, it is possible to add up to 10% MEK to the glue to reactivate it. Glue mixed with hardener can be kept for up to 6 hours. Use a small painting brush to apply 1-3 layer(s) glue on both material surfaces, waiting 5 minutes between applications to allow the glue to dry before attaching the two pieces of material together. Once the patch is applied, work from the center out with something like a teaspoon to force out any air bubbles, then apply pressure to the repaired area for at least 24 hours. Wait 48 hours for the glue to cure before using. For better results, use 2 Part glue (glue and hardener) to ensure overall quality of the repair and extend the life of the bonding. For air leak repairs, it is recommended to use 2 Part Glue. Glue and hardener sealed in the bottles can be kept for up to 3 years. Instruction of Glue Layer applied: 1-2 layers on new fabric surface; 2-3 layers on old fabric surface; 3-4 layers for wood or plywood surface; 2-3 layers for parts or aluminum surface. For the fabric of a Hypalon boat, it is essential that the fabric has a coating layer, and sanding the boat fabric to remove this coating is a must before gluing. Only mix the amount of glue you require for the repair, seal the bottle right away, and store it in a cool area for future use. If the hardener turns to crystals or gets sticky, it is no longer usable. To clean the area that needs to be repaired, use Methyl Hydrate, Acetone, or MEK.
